Why I built this

I use Claude a lot but there's no middle ground between "review every change" and "accept all edits". Reviewing every change slows things down to human speed, but accepting all edits makes the final review painful since I end up leaving comments one at a time and wait after each fix.

tuicr is the middle ground. Let the agent loose, review the changes like a normal PR, drop comments where needed, and export everything as structured feedback Claude can act on in one pass.

It makes my AI-assisted development go brrrrrr.

Overview

A GitHub-style diff viewer in your terminal with vim keybindings. Scroll through changed files, leave comments, mark files as reviewed, and copy your full review to clipboard in a format ready to paste back to the agent.

Features

  • Infinite scroll diff view - All changed files in one continuous scroll (GitHub-style)
  • Vim keybindings - Navigate with j/k, Ctrl-d/u, g/G, {/}, [/]
  • Comments - Add file-level or line-level comments with types
  • Review tracking - Mark files as reviewed, persist progress to disk
  • Clipboard export - Copy structured Markdown optimized for LLM consumption
  • Session persistence - Reviews auto-save and reload on restart

git clone https://github.com/agavra/tuicr.git

Review Output

When you export your review (:clip or confirm on :wq), tuicr copies structured Markdown to your clipboard. The format is optimized for pasting into AI agent conversations:

I reviewed your code and have the following comments. Please address them.

Comment types: ISSUE (problems to fix), SUGGESTION (improvements), NOTE (observations), PRAISE (positive feedback)

1. **[SUGGESTION]** `src/auth.rs` - Consider adding unit tests
2. **[ISSUE]** `src/auth.rs:42` - Magic number should be a named constant

Each comment is numbered and self-contained with its file path and line number (if applicable).

Session Persistence

Sessions are automatically saved to ~/.local/share/tuicr/reviews/ (XDG compliant). When you reopen tuicr in the same repository, your previous review progress (comments, reviewed status) is restored.
